no you dont… if you buy it from a sales person and you dont have the CCW, you will have to wait 5 days before taking it home with you…

if you buy it from an individual you can take it right away…. there is a law you need to know about… when you take your gun home, you have to have it in its box, and in a non easy accessible place, like your trunk, globe compartment or something like that…

take it from my experience, do not buy anything from Miami guns. they charged me for my gun and told me I had a five day wait to get gun clearance. I would receive the gun the following Thursday or Friday. That was at the May 5th show in Ft. Lauderdale, I still have no gun and no money. They charged my credit card the day of the show. No one answers the phone number listed. stay away from Miami guns.

My-2-cents, After going to gun show the last 3 yrs, at least a 1/2 doz. times to sun coast shows, and trying to make up my mind as to my all time best carry, I now carry a Glock 27 with laser sight, my backup is a Seecamp 380, their is a rumor about that Glock has in the works a 9mm single stack, if that turn out to be true that could very well be my next carry, as for gun shows I find some reloading supplies and I like to be among like minded people, I like when i see dad dragging his 3 girls behind and mom looking total bored on a Sunday afternoon. I’m sure he’ll make up for it and take them all to Disney Land. Anyway see U at the show, I’ll be their. Twitter ID Stravage.

I’ve went to this show 5 times and deals are hard to find, but I like looking anyway. Some vendors are just outright trying to rip you off. A Beretta Pico was being sold for $500.00, I bought mine for $320.00, really!!! You have to do your research before you buy.

Security is a bad thing? Especially with everything that has been happening… you would think cops proficiently watching everything would be good, right? Their presence alone wards off a lot of “suspicious” individuals from entering and possibly obtaining a firearm through trade, or barter that might want to use a gun thats off the books… Not to mention protecting the vendors from theft. Such a big crowd you cant keep an eye on every piece on the table. You need a safety net. Why would extra police bother you? Unless, you have something to hide, or are looking to act a fool… No doubt your name has been flagged for them to keep an eye out for when you pay your entrance fee.

This show is for me a waste of time. The promoters bounce back and forth on paid / not paid parking, raising / lowering door entry fees.

Add to that the aisles are so narrow that whenever a handicapped person in a wheelchair or mom with a stroller goes into an aisle it makes for a roadblock. I’ve been a resident of South Florida since the 70’s and have gone to this show most of the time sincethen, no more.

Definitely a good show to attend. Its one of the more popular ones I’ve been to. Always packed on both days. Depending on the vendor you can wheel and deal. Shoot Straight beat the price of 2 other vendors that had the Vickers Tactical G19. Also found a good deal on a used LCP with the crimson trace laser, and a techna clip. Never shot and looked brand new, but was $100 cheaper than buying the same gun new. Potential is there to get a great deal. This show generally has a big selection, and only one time out of the 7 times I’ve been I was not able to find what I was looking for. I took the concealed course here as well. It was in a back room and during July. It was hot! Now, I mentioned this show is packed. They fill the place to the brim with as many vendors as possible. Large shops take up multiple rows (shoot straight had 3 rows last time I went). The aisles are narrow, and you are always rubbing up on someone. There are a lot of sheeple that attend this show, so go into this expecting to find the worst kind of people and you wont be disappointed. Also take into consideration the location of the event to get an idea of who will be attending as well. Its not uncommon to see a mom with a stroller, or 1 person who decides to take their entire family, and grand kids with him to buy a knife…. We’re dealing with sheeple, remember? It will take you about an hour leisurely brows each table. If you decide to purchase be prepared to stand in line behind people who are waiting to fill out their background check. If you’re purchasing a more uncommon firearm you might not be able to work a deal. MAP’ed (minimum advertised price) priced guns like Glocks and Smiths can be talked down if another vendor has it for cheaper at the show, but don’t expect a huge break because most mfgs don’t offer a big profit margin. Especially in such a saturated market as firearms. If you do go, make sure you stop off at Herky Jerky. I think the original owner, Mort has retired, but its still hands down the best Jerky!

The place is like a sardine can. I have always found the best deals on the stage, away from the pushing and shoving. The Vendors up on the stage can and do take their time with you and don’t give you the “rush act”. Those vendors are usually smaller companies, unlike Shoot Straight with 3 full isles and dozens of tables and if you take your time, you can get a better deal up there. They finally stopped making you pay for parking- that was insulting to me. The Food Court really sucks. Anybody that thinks this place could be a target for terrorists is a Special Kind of Stupid ( All the vendors carry concealed weapons you idiot, along with uniform police, undercover police and at least half a dozen BATF agents that monitor the sales there). It is the best show in Broward County.

Was asked by a friend to go and help him buy a 308, 30-06 rifle..he was undecided on the cal and a 45 caliber tactical pistol. What I saw was an “over priced flee market”- I get it that people are trying to make a living and it is south Florida(things are expensive). What really made me laugh was there where some very entertaining vendors, acting like a five star general that just came off the battle field- I’d go back just for that. I did enjoy some of the older antique stuff, which I bought some. My friend bought nothing. The Sportsman Outdoor Superstore and Tombstone Tactical have best deals on anything to do with shooting. The “Democratic County of Broward” is not a place I wanna spend my money, ever. The county is full of Starbucks sipping, skinny jeans wearing, laptop carrying(gender men-should be different)..just glad they didn’t fight in WWII cause German would be are official language.
